Leading the World in Technological Excellence
Did you know that Fujifilm is responsible for many world firsts in technology?
For example, it was Fujifilm who developed and marketed the world's first digital camera, a device that has now become an essential part of our lives.
In the world of medicine, Fujifilm was the first company to succeed in digitalizing X-ray images. Given the name FCR (Fuji Computed Radiography), this technology is still the world leader in this sector.
Fujifilm also produces the world's highest share of the various types of high performance film required for manufacturing flat panel displays supported by its several proprietary production technologies that keep it far ahead of its competitors.
It is against this background that Fujifilm has accumulated a wide range of cutting-edge technologies centered on the organic synthesis technologies cultivated through research and development of photographic film over many years. From the fundamentals to applied research, from materials to hardware and software development, it is Fujifilm's strength in the creation of original and multifaceted technologies spanning all sectors that is the source of its ability to create value.
Fujifilm is actively engaged in research and development, centered on the FUJIFILM Advanced Research Laboratories.
The challenge was to realize low impact healthcare by reducing the level of exposure to radiation for people undergoing X-ray examinations. With the development of FCR, Fujifilm has enabled radiography to be performed at significantly reduced dosages with no deterioration in image quality.
With the objective of realizing patient-centered healthcare, in 2003, Fujinon developed a nasal endoscope that has reduced vomiting and other discomfort associated with conventional endoscopy.
